Buy now or wait?

I am planning to travel from Stockholm Skavsta to Paris Vatry on the 2nd of October with a return on 6th of October.

Currently the price in total is around 23 Euro going out (we are four adults traveling) and 73 euro returning. Per person it is about 6 Euro outbound and 18 Euro homebound.

It is cheap already, but should I wait and see an even lower price? The outbund trip is now 50 percent off, no taxes and no check in charge. The homebound trip is 10 pecent off, no taxes but with the ordinary check in fee.

What is your advice?

It's not easy to get the lowest possible price for each flight one takes.
Sometimes one keeps waiting for a lower price that never comes ...
My advice is : when you think that the price is cheap and fair enough, book the flight immediately.
The outbound flight at 6 euros certainly is a good bargain.
The homebound flight, at 18 euros, is admittedly a bit more expensive and might go down later, but it's by no means a sure thing.
The return trip at around 23 euros seems a fair price, in my view, and my advice is to take it.
It's for you to decide !

my advice is to buy the flights now as long as there is a sale on now.
flights rarely get cheaper as time passes.

same dates and route today 122.00 sek approx £10 return per person (single booking) i'd say very cheap. but if you book for 4 prices goes up.

Having just been on ryanair, it would be cheaper to book 2 seats at 122 SEK return per person, then book another 2 seats at 184 SEK return per person, their are only 2 promotional fares left on the inbound flight. Total cost would be 612 SEK (around £54) instead of 980 SEK (around £87), my advice would to book ASAP!

It depends when you buy the tickets of course. If you want to buy the ticket like 5-6 months before the departure date I would recommend to wait. But when the a promotion is up for a specific month (which appears about 2 months before a scheduled flight) and you find a good 100 SEK or even cheaper ticket, then one of Ryanair rules says: don't wait and just buy. I have been in such situations before where I facepawned myself deciding to not buy and wait a day or two..

I'm thinking about booking my holidays between 18 and 25 of July. Should I book now, or wait for a promotion? I'm definitely not thinking about sunny destinations and it will a 4 or 5 days trip.

If the routes you like to take are regulary featuered in promotions than wait. otherwise you are better of to book now, as july is peak season. last year for example their wher no promotions for august, i think. if you are flexible i would wait defently
